Makes sense

Giancarlo has said he is really looking forward to being Renault's Number 1 driver, it's his best shot at a World Title. I think his in for a bit of a shock

Any bets on him being dropped mid season ?

Two Finns (both rookies) in two Renaults... Briatore knows better than that. He might have accomplished another solid find with Kovalainen but another one... Not probable.

Nelson Piquet Jr

He and Lewis will resume their championship battle but this time the stakes will be higher.

Agree and I am sure he realises that he has to do well early in the season otherwise he will be out.

If Renault struggle early in the season why would Flavio keep Fisichella (who usually finishes 5th or 6th

) Instead he'll give Piquet Jr a chance!

This assumes Raikkonen stops breaking those cars

Don't underestimate Kimi

However you are right on one account: Massa was known to break the brakes (no pun intended) quite often. Since he's switched to Ferrari things are okay...

At least we'll have good competition. Kimi breaks the cars, McLarens break by themselves, Fisi can't win anyway...

Sato takes care of most of the other cars, Kubica wins the title

Your faith in Sato is quite admirable.

He is a disciple of the "Divine Wind"......one of their maxims is......"engage the enemy at close quarters".
